CH73 House / LBR&A

Bosques de las Lomas in Mexico City was conceived as a Residential district within a forested area. The clumsy architectural development has deforested the hills, transforming the forest into rooftops, streets, and concrete platforms with gardened areas, draining their rainwater into the municipal sewer system, reducing the natural water infiltration into the soil, destroying the original flora and fauna of the site. The property adjoins a federal reserve land, deforested due to the architectural development and the mismanagement of the authorities.
